Q

Conditional Mood Conjugation “Would…”

A

It also uses the entire infinitive, and the irregular verbs are the same verbs as future tense. It’s also the same for all three endings (-ar, -er and -ir). It also only expressed in one word, so “would” is not needed as in English.

Q

Conditional Mood is used to…

A
  • indicate the probability of a future action from the perspective of a previous action the past (like “would + present tense verb” in English)
  • indicate hypothetical actions or events that may or may not happen in the future
  • express hypothetical action or events that may or may not happen in the present (like willingness)
  • communicate probability, wonder or conjecture referring to a past time or activity with verbs such as decir, estar, haber, ser and tener. The English equivalents “approximately, probably, must have, could, I wonder…” are used to express this sense.
